Airport Commission

The Airport Commission consists of five members appointed by the Mayor to four-year terms. Originally part of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, the Airport Commission was established by City Charter in 1970. In accordance with the Charter, the Airport Commission is primarily a policy-making body, establishing the policies by which the airport operates. The Commission is prohibited by Charter from involving itself in the day-to-day operation of the airport. That function is vested in the Airport Director.
